In this video I demonstrate to my nephews how I extract Amadou from Horse Hoof Fungus, also a slide show from previous video's that were never published.

It's the new British MTP "Multi Terrain Pattern", it's slowly replacing DPM. All British forces should be wearing them by 2013. DPM has been around for a lot of years, since 1966, still as good now as it was then. It has got darker over the years, but the pattern hasn't changed much. The new camo is a huge leap forward, but it retains the identity of British camo.

I've tried a few methods myself, this is the best so far. If you know any others, I'd be more than happy to hear them. Some people prefer the fungus to be wet, I like to let them dry out first. It's like peeling a wooden potato. I did get a lot more out of this one than you see in the video, but unfortunately I was running out of memory on the camera.

Not very many people rember the tradition of not allowing your face to be photographed while in the field. Thats a code as old as the camera. You must of learned from an old timer.
